TheProductLawyers.com reports on one of the side effects mentioned in Xarelto lawsuits that have caused serious injury.

According to WebMD, a stroke is caused by a blocked blood vessel or bleeding in the brain. The signs of a stroke include a sudden severe headache, weakness, numbness, vision problems, confusion, trouble walking or talking, dizziness and slurred speech.

Xarelto was approved by the FDA in 2011 for patients with Afib who are at an increased risk of developing blood clots. It was also approved for stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, making it the first oral direct factor Xa inhibitor to win an indication for stroke prevention. Johnson & Johnson and Bayer AG have been faced with lawsuits, however, claiming the drug did not work as advertised. The first of these lawsuits was filed in October 2015 by a Florida woman who alleged that her father died of a stroke four days after taking Xarelto.

Side effects have been a driving force behind why many patients have opted to file lawsuits. Plaintiffs have not only claimed that these side effects are life-threatening but have also alleged that these companies were negligent in the marketing and sale of the products because of the lack of an antidote. The drug currently has no FDA-approved reversal agent to combat the risk of uncontrolled bleeding.

"Our lawsuits allege that the manufacturers failed to warn our clients about the severe side effects from which our clients suffered while taking the drug," said attorney Laurence Banville, a contributor to the Xarelto litigation updates on TheProductLawyers.com. "We are speaking with families who have had brain bleeds, gastrointestinal bleeds, vaginal bleeding, and bleeding from trauma where hospitalization and extreme measures were taken by medical staff to help save the patient's life,” Banville continued. "We look forward to fighting for the rights of our clients and pursuing just compensation for the injuries and hospitalization."

The attorneys of Banville Law, the firm behind TheProductLawyers.com, are offering complimentary consultations to anyone who suffered injury or hospitalization after a bleed while on Xarelto. For more information about this release or the Xarelto litigation call 888-478-9711.
